6:18 pm
>> reporter: it would also be good politics. you see, the subway was going to stop here in chinatown. but to get all the equipment in and out to build it, they would have to keep boring on down the street to north beach and pull all the machinery out by digging a big pitch here at this intersection. >> it's going to disrupt the whole neighborhood and damage business. >> reporter: so the feeling was, chinatown gets the subway station and north beach gets the shaft. >> i've heard that phrase. now, i think they raised a very legitimate point. records and those concerns including threatened lawsuits and a lot of heat aimed at city hall. but by giving north beach a pete's of the subway deal, folks are at least taking a second look at the idea. >> they are proposing 1500 people per hour to be dropped off into the neighborhood. why wouldn't it make sense? >> it depends how they put it together. >> reporter: deals like this don't come cheap. a north beach stop could cost the project $500 million to $1 billion extra. and at this point, no one is really sure where the money is
6:19 pm
going to come from. so the squeaky wheel is getting the grease. >> we're being responsible and responsive public servants just as you would like us to be. >> reporter: well, they are certainly being responsive and by the way, if they do get it here, they are going to not stop here. there's already talk about extending the subway to fisherman's wharf. so just keep your eyes on this plan. it's expanding fast. >> so is that half a billion dollars to a billion before the cost overruns or after, phil? >> reporter: i'm the cynic around here. [ laughter ] >> reporter: that's before the overruns. >> we'll see. all right. phil matier, thank you. all right. meteorologist paul deanno is ready and rain is coming but this time just rain. >> just plain rain not storm number 4. we had a little overrun of rainfall this weekend and you had issues. we had a lot of issues around

6:21 pm
caught plenty of people using the trail despite it's bumpy after the rain. here's the setup in the atmosphere why i'm not worried about additional flooding this time. there's an area of high pressure building in just in time to take this next weathermaker and shove it just far enough to the north to keep the heavy rain way from us. the storm track is going farther north and this next weather system really isn't as strong, isn't as juicy as the last several so for all of that reason heavy rainfall will stay away from the bay area. we'll get some rain but not flooding rain from this particular system moving in tonight and tomorrow. so showers return for everybody by tomorrow evening. we'll have hit or miss rainfall during the day on wednesday. but flooding will not be a concern. so rain yes. flooding, no. highs tomorrow right around 60 degrees for san francisco. livermore 63. still a couple of degrees above average. oakland 62. san jose your high tomorrow 63 degrees. it will be cloudy with showers in the afternoon. wednesday wet with just some rainfall out there and after that we'll dry out for a while thursday all the way through the weekend and top of next week. highs in the low to mid-60s,

we'll be hearing a lot about that child in the coming weeks. here we go. weather time now. we have a beautiful shot of san francisco on a calm monday evening. boy was it not calm yesterday morning. winds howling 50 to 60 miles per hour rain heavy at times widespread flooding on streets and tonight just a whole truckload of nothing. livermore 54 degrees. san francisco 56. cooling off even with cloudy conditions santa rosa 54. and oakland right now 57. hi-def doppler is now showing a couple of very light showers moving onshore out to point reyes, santa rosa and healdsburg. you may get showers tonight and we'll be watching those showers moving in tomorrow especially and then also on wednesday. notice i'm saying showers and not rain. there's a reason for that. showers are just kind of intermitten not that heavy. rain is what you had yesterday and last friday and wednesday.
6:48 pm
i'm not expecting that this time. the atmosphere doesn't have as much water in it for this storm. an area of high pressure is building in off the southern california coastline taking the storm track, aimed right at us and moving it hundreds of miles to the north. very key because even an indirect hit makes a big change and we are not going to see that much rain from this particular system. so will we see rainfall? will all of us get more rain? we will starting tomorrow through wednesday but will it be a flood maker? no. heavy rainfall will stay away from this system. it's not another tropical weathermaker like we've seen. showers back for everybody tomorrow afternoon some of you tonight. on-and-off rain on wednesday no flooding a concern. here's something sunny to look forward to if you will. the climate prediction center puts out outlook that is go all the way out to two weeks. this one shows the entire state of drier than normal until a week before christmas.
6:49 pm
so long-range forecasts say we will not be wet. instead we will be dry. tomorrow there will be some showers around. santa clara 63. palo alto 62. san mateo your high 61. 63 for walnut creek tomorrow. afternoon showers 62. wet from start to finish but scattered showers for santa rosa, 58 bodega bay, sausalito 61. wednesday showers end but not until late in the day. next couple of days cloudy, showery. thursday through saturday dry, sunday dry and next monday dry. so five straight dry days after we get through this next weathermaker which will not cause any flooding. we'll be right back.

♪ secondhand smoke affects everyone's health.
6:52 pm
it's not just irritating. it can cause heart disease and even death. speak up about secondhand smoke. your health and the health of your family depend on it. dennis hello from the coliseum arena. it will be a sold-out crowd no big man no problem for the warriors who reached the 10 win plateau. >> it's not right. when i try it train for extended periods it doesn't respond well. >> reporter: bogut hasn't been playing for a month with ankle surgery.
6:53 pm
>> i wanted to play the first game of the season. i never missed an opening night in my career and i didn't want to miss one. >> reporter: still the warriors don't have the big man the franchise has desperately needed in decades. despite that the warriors are 10-6. they haven't been in first place this deep in a season since 2005. curry leads the team in scoring and is healthy. harrison barnes looks like a keeper scoring double figure this is five of his last nine games. alongside is carl landry. with bogut out he stepped up. carl, it is interesting to see you decided to sign with the warriors because thought they were a play-off team. this team has gone to the play- offs once in the past 18 years. what convinced you it might be different? >> i thought, you know, the
6:54 pm
signings in the summertime, the pieces they added with what already what they had, you know, just made a good team. >> reporter: when bogut went down they thought they lost a key piece of the puzzle. why has it been different without him? >> you have a bunch of hungry guys in the locker room. no matter who coach jackson puts on the floor, we are all going to fight every possession of the game. >> reporter: you were one of the best big men off the bench over 14 points a game. would you prefer that? >> it don't matter. like i said, you know, it's a bunch of players in the locker room. i'm one of those guys. it doesn't matter if coach plays me, starts me, if he plays me 5 minutes or 25 minutes. i'm all about winning and i think guys in the locker room are sacrificing numbers to win ballgames. >> david lee is a calming influence. he called you the big boring. are you a boring guy? >> i don't know. now, i just come in every day,
6:55 pm
you know, do what i supposed to do try to be as professional as possible kind of quiet at times but everybody doesn't have a personality like david. >> or you don't have 1500 pairs of shoes in your closet like jackson. >> reporter: not at all. i keep it simple, baby. >> reporter: but you guys are having fun? >> yeah. >> keep up the good work. >> thank you. >> we have some baseball news and it's big deal with angel pagan. he has re-signed. led the league with 15 triples. he hit below .200 in the post- season but was excellent defensively in the post-season for the giants. despite the loss in st. louis, jim harbaugh is going to stick with his hot hand against the dolphins this sunday. but it comes with a disclaimer.
6:56 pm
>> alex is not out of this. >> right now, he is not in it, either. colin kaepernick made a series of mistakes yesterday against the rams that added up to a loss none bigger than the botched pitch that led to st. louis' only touchdown of the game. harbaugh did not pin the blame on his young quarterback. >> that's on us as a wrong play call at that time. would have loved to have that one back. don't blame the players on that one. it was too risky to play at that time. >> i don't know what they were trying to accomplish there. we took advantage of one of the mistakes. >> reporter: check it out. the road to the nfc west is looking tougher than in september. seahawks a game and a half behind san francisco and they have a potential showdown or the horizon later this month in september. so it's the warriors the magic the warriors have not had a perfect home stand since 1992.
